I love color !!
For clothes, I love comfort. Daily, I like to wear matching stretch/warmup pants and jackets. I have several mix and match, velour, stretch, stretch, stretch. My fav at the moment is black with white strips piped in hot pink on the arms and down the legs. I just bought a baby blue just like it!! Sooo comfy, and looks nice to go out in during the day. At home, I am usually always in pj's. I live out in the country, so I usually dont have guests pop in, but if they do, I look fine, it all matches and I'm covered up. I get cold so easy and I like to be warm. Socks, always wearing socks. I do like to dress up though, I love skirts and jackets, silk is my absolute favorite. Pantyhose, if I need my tummy concealed, when it gets hot, you can forget me wearing the darn things. hahahah, sex and skirts???? I don't even remember those days, hahahah. Love, love, love high heel shoes, they hurt my back, so I only wear them sometimes for short periods of time. Give my any type of sparkly jewelery and I will be your friend for life.
As far as my home, comfortable, warm and inviting. I have a beautiful rug in my family room, burgundys,greens, blacks a little lavender here and there. The only way that rug is leaving this house is if I die. My fav furniture, two mens size black cherry colored recliners. I ordered them specially made for the color, looks great with my rug. Mirrors, I have an old mirror, it looks like it may have come from a dresser. I painted it a gold with a hammered nail effect, it is great!!! I also have some drawings of cowboys on thier horses roping steers, with some rusted stars. It looks really nice together. In the bedroom, I love more color, creams, burgundys, pinks...lots of candle sticks in gold and crystal. Crystal lamps with teardrops hanging down, found them in a re-sale shop, they are so pretty. I also love satin, flowers,and beautiful fabrics. This room is not finished yet, I like to decorate as I go. Buying special things as I find them. My h does not care how I decorate this room, I am the only woman around, so he overlooks the femininity. I mean, he never complains about all of my pink! I also have a purple/lavender/white shabby chic bedroom, I keep my pc in there, I love this room. It makes me feel like I am back in the '50's. Though I wasn't born until '57.
The kitchen, lots and lots of rooster and old teapots. I have two long shelves on both walls of my dining room, thats where I keep my precious things, the roosters of course, old teapots, new teapots, a great old cobalt blue planters peanut cookie jar! A sweet little vinigar/oil/salt set my mil gave me it is clear with red polka dots on it, she had it in her kitchen in the '50's . A pint sized canning jar with some old silver spoons my grandmother gave me, love those spoons. I love to have a little black sprinkled here and there in my kitchen also. And, beautiful lace curtains in a linen color. OMGOSH, I love the things in my kitchen. I had a sweet potato in a glass jar over the sink all winter, it grew everywhere, I finally had to get rid of it. I got so sick I was afraid there might be mold on it, hated to get rid of that!
Outside I have lots of flower beds, landscaping plants...flowering trees. I love being outside and planting,watering, and loving everything I have grown.
THats about it.
